Ivey's Restaurant

First time we’ve eaten here and it was fantastic! Veal with mushrooms and artichoke sauce linguini was perfect, as well as the shrimp and seafood gumbo and the egg plant and shrimp parmigiana! And all very reasonably priced! Brooks waited on us and he took great care of us! We highly recommend Ivey’s!

Ivey’s in Robertsdale knocks it out of the park. This is definitely a “Diamond in the Ruff” ! My wife and I decided to try the fine dining establishment in Robertsdale for my birthday dinner. This restaurant met and exceeded my expectations and the reviews I studied before giving it a try. We started with garden salads that were freshly made as well as homemade blue cheese dressing and ranch dressing. Dressings and salads were delicious. My wife had the Jack Daniel Pork Tenderloin. Juicy , Tender and flavorful , served with a sweet potato cake that was over the top ! I tried the Seafood Crepes with St Ivey sauce. These crepes were filled with crab, shrimp and crawfish in a rich cream sauce then topped with their signature St Ivey sauce which was a rich spicy seafood sauce. This dish was no joke , I could not make this dish any better even though I am a Saucier’ by trade. The portions were very generous, so make sure you come hungry! The prices were unbelievably reasonable, especially for the quantity and quality. Kristen, our server was polite, professional and most importantly welcoming! She anticipated our every need! The ambience was elegant yet comfortable and would be a great date night or romantic evening experience. Ever so often you find a hidden gem, and this place is one of those gems! We plan on celebrating our anniversary at this restaurant as well!

We came to enjoy a date night on Saturday. After being seated, we waited over 10 minutes for the server to acknowledge us, which was a little offsetting, but Lilly did fine in the end. Started with an appetizer and side salads. Caesar dressing was on top. The crawfish pies' dough felt hard, like it was previously frozen. It didn't taste fresh. There was lots of rice, almost like a gumbo inside of a pastry. The seared duck, ordered medium rare, tasted good, but the zucchini and squash on the side were the best part of the dish. The rice had too many uncooked grains, so my boyfriend eventually stopped eating it to avoid hurting his teeth. The catfish entree was amazing, despite an overpowering and salty sauce that was poured all over the perfectly crisp and crunchy fried fish and made most of it too soggy. I would definitely order the sauce on the side next time. All things considered, we had an okay experience. The ambiance suggested that the service and quality would be a little better, but we weren’t too disappointed. The place has potential, and there are a few small improvements to be made. I would give it another try in the future.

Very good service. Excellent food ! It has a very nice atmosphere in a small town setting. I highly recommend this restaurant for a wonderful dining experience.

Wow! Wow! Wow! We were down from Birmingham visiting my grandfather in Gulf Shores and he recommended we go out for dinner one night. We had made reservations but two people canceled last minute. The staff didn’t make a big deal of it and gave us the same table as soon as we walked in. Our service was so accommodating and they had water and bread chips already set up on the table for us to be seated. The bread chips were delicious. Going to Ivey’s you don’t have to settle on the food to get good service, here they have both. At our table we ordered the seafood crepes, the shrimp and grit cakes, the catfish with a shrimp and crab sauce, and the shrimp diane. All came with a house salad with your choice of dressing. Their homemade dressings are ranch, 1000 island, and blue cheese, which were all wonderful! I tasted every entree we ordered except the shrimp Diane and you cannot go wrong with any of the other three. The dish that really stood out to all of us was the shrimp and grit cakes, which our server informed us they had won an award for recently. This restaurant really is the whole package: adorable location, classy ambiance, amazing service, generous portions, extensive wine menu, and affordable pricing. Don’t skip this place even if you’re just driving through to the beach!

Spouse loved the daily chef special (catfish) for lunch. I did not like the seafood crepe-very heavy sauce. We loved the home made crackers on the table and side of asparagus (upcharge to substitute for rice). Service was exceptional and we were seated with no waiting when we arrived early for our reservation.

Iveys never fails. The food is always great. Whether at lunch or dinner, everything is excellent. I had the grilled chicken and vegetables with a salad. They have homemade dressings, blue cheese, ranch and thousand Island. Never leave without a slice of the carrot cake. I get a piece to go every time.

Tremendous food, friendly staff. Service was great. We had lunch for two in the Anniversary Room which is a cozy private dining room upstairs. Was the Mrs. Birthday so was real nice they provided a complimentary bread pudding that was FINE! Great value too. Loved it!
